I found your blog over the weekend and have been reading through your archives. I am SO impressed and inspired by your work. This quilt is so fun and whimsical. I love the colors that you chose. I can't wait to try making one.

Wow! I guess I need to get my finished. Your looks so great sewn together. I was thinking of adding some sashing to my quilt, but now I see I will loose the secondary pattern, but that might be better than a sea of all cream. Your thoughts on this?

i really really like the sea of cream, as you call it. i LOVE the secondary pattern that is created by the cream, and with the sashing you would lose that. but now i'm wondering what it would look like with sashing...hmmm.

I just love this quilt pattern! You are an amazing quilter - you do so many! I know you have already answered this question somewhere in your blog, but I can't find it, so am going to ask anyway: What fabric do you use for your standard white, and where do you get it?

Thanks for taking the time to blog all of your creations - I love you site! Very inspirational!

for my background fabric i use either bleached muslin or quilter's only cotton in the color parchment. (i used parchment for this quilt.) i buy both fabrics at joanns. by the bolt. with a coupon or on sale.

You are such a prolific quilter!!! You totally blow my mind and I have been so inspired by you! I made 2 quilt tops today. Mind you there were all squares, super easy peesy. Now for the harder part...the actual quilting! But when I finished piecing just now, I thought of you and had to come check to see what you have been up to lately. Of course quilting. Gosh, did I say how you blow my mind with all these quilts!

Amandajean,I don't know if this question has been asked already but I am wondering how long it took you to make the top? it is very pretty but seems like it might be a little time consuming? Did you follow the tutorial by tracing and cutting out the whirlys or did you do it a different way?

My dh really likes it and wants me to make one for our bed... I'm a little worried.
